After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Hao asked Xianggong Lu to resign as Prime Minister and Chief of the Secret Pavilion. The matter was announced, but it did not cause too much shock in the government and the public.
There are three reasons.
On the one hand, the imperial court actually restarted the "Young Crops Law", coupled with the national festival, and the grand statements in the newspapers about turning from defense to offense, so this matter was somewhat covered up.
Secondly, the position of the public minister is also the so-called Pingzhang military and state affairs. It is separated from the provinces and does not interfere with the general affairs. It is an abnormal position from the beginning. It is specially used to place highly virtuous veterans. Whether it can be used depends entirely on the officials.
In other words, when Lu Haowen held this position before, he had political gestures to transition the team and appease veterans, but now he has been in this transitional position for more than a full year, and he has to do it.
It’s time to move on from offense to defense, but it’s time to resign.
Thirdly, Lu Haowen himself is indeed almost seventy years old. Besides, he has never been a person who likes to fight for power. This move is not unexpected... Moreover, if there is someone who really understands the situation of Lu Haowen's family, I am afraid it will be even worse.
Understand that even from the selfish perspective of pursuing political prestige, Lu Haowen should pursue a clean retirement instead of continuing to gain power.
Why?
The reason is amazing. From the founding of the Song Dynasty to the present, there have been six Pingzhang military and state affairs, namely Lu Yijian, Wen Yanbo, Lu Gongzhu, Cai Jing, Li Gang, Lu Haowen... Among them, three surnames
Lu's family is basically a family. Lu Gongzhu is Lu Haowen's biological grandfather, and Lu Yijian is Lu Haowen's biological grandfather's biological father.
Not to mention Cai Jing's shameful end, nor the subtle relationship between Li Gang and the current emperor, let's just say that the Lu family started from the time when Lu Yijian's uncle Lu Mengzheng came to the throne, and it lasted more than a hundred years until Lu Haowen's generation, it seemed that
He really wanted to "kill the fifth generation of a gentleman". In fact, Lu Haowen was really disheartened after experiencing the Jingkang Incident. On that day, he had already asked his son Lu Benzhong to buy a house in Guangxi. He was planning to reject all the officials and titles in the imperial court and die there.
of.
But who would have thought that a fall into a well in the Mingdao Palace would force out the fifth and third princes and the third generation of ministers?
Compared to Han Xiaozhou's scolding, Lu Haowen should have left early even if it was just to gain family achievements.
However, it must be emphasized here that it may seem to outsiders that Zhao Jiu gave Lu Haowen Pingzhang the important military and state position precisely because of this Lu family heritage. But in fact, Zhao Guan's family is not that knowledgeable... He is
Because of Cai Jing’s Pingzhang Military and State Affairs, Li Gang was given the Pingzhang Military and State Matters, and because of Li Gang’s Pingzhang Military and State Matters, Lu Haowen was given the Pingzhang Military and State Matters.
In essence, it was for the smooth transition of the government. How could you imagine that this would involve Lu Haowen's family achievement points?
Of course, after such a long time, it is impossible for Zhao Jiu to remain so confused. Even though it was not clear at first, it is time to understand it now... After the festival, he returned to Tokyo, originally wanting to treat his serious husband
A person who likes titles, but after checking the classics, he realized that he had all the titles and titles ready for Lu Haowen, and there was no way to change them, because his family had the same titles and titles for generations.
For example, the Zhao Guan family had been wondering why Lu Benzhong, with his dissolute appearance, was called Mr. Xiao Donglai in the academic world. Now when he looked at the book, he realized that the Lu family was the ancestral Duke of Donglai!
As long as the head of the Lu family wears a purple robe, it is the result of booking a Donglai County Marquis; and once he becomes the governor and a retired Duke is booked, he is Shen Guogong, the ancestral Duke Shen; even in semi-retired status,
There are also important military and state affairs passed down from ancestors.
Of course, with Lu Haowen's contribution and the current situation in this special period, it must be increased.
As a result, a decree came down soon. Because of Lu Haowen's great contribution to supporting the tripod, he was specially granted the title of King Shen, and was given the title of Grand Master, and became the chief of the public pavilion as before.
The treatment of this living king is obviously higher than that of Xu Jingheng's Danyang County Prince... Of course, it is a retirement treatment after all, but it may not be better than Han Shizhong's Yan'an County Prince plus Shao Bao and Jiedushi of the three towns.
But no matter what, after seeing this result, everyone can only say that this official is indeed generous in personnel matters. Those who are in office are given real power, and those who have resigned are given names and positions. At least they will not be ridiculed by others.
Like King Xiang, who held the official seal and was reluctant to give it to others.
Turn back to your eyes.
Let us also say that after the three consecutive days of sacrifices on August 15th, the next two days will be the 21st day of August, and from the early morning of this day, the autumn rain began to drip and the cold air started to rise.
On this day, Shang Zhaoguan's family naturally did not go to the martial arts shooting range to practice archery again, but the meeting was also calm, with the endorsement of the prime ministers, the approval in advance of the secret cabinet officials, and the package of National Debt-Jiaozi-New Young Miao Law
The financial plan was officially adopted.
However, after the court meeting, Zhao Guan's family did not go back to the harem to hug the little girl and play with the cat and walk the dog. Instead, they went back to the nameless stone pavilion to sit for a while and carried out the routine "mulberry fishing activity".
This is not because the official is deliberately pretending to be diligent, but the so-called "mulberry fishing activities" have already evolved into a reference to other matters after the fish ponds and mulberry forests were formed.
For example, Yang Yizhong will conduct a daily routine intelligence report here; Liu Yan will centrally deliver military secrets here that arrived yesterday but did not have an urgent sign;
The Yutang scholars compiled some briefings on the provinces and government affairs; finally, if the next day was a serious day for the Di newspaper, Zhao Guan's family would also read the second day's Di newspaper sample here.
The overall situation of the government, military affairs, prices in the capital, domestic public opinion, military personnel and rumors are basically all things that need to be heard. However, today's meeting of the court was inevitably delayed, so it was just a little late.
In other words, although Zhao Jiu did not deliberately learn the daily work style of any great American president in later generations, he objectively achieved a daily work process similar to that of later American presidents... This is okay, after all, sitting in the White House office and listening to intelligence
The summary includes not only the man who made America greater, but also Roosevelt, right?
However, it is worth mentioning that maybe great people always have something in common. Although Zhao Jiu cannot tweet, he has contracted another problem of that person - he likes to interrupt and ask questions when others are summarizing intelligence.
problems, and then make complaints for no reason, and use extremely low-end methods to interfere with the normal work of the staff.
"This Xixia envoy understands this way?"
Amidst the patter of rain, Zhao Jiu, who had put on thick clothes, suddenly interrupted Yang Yizhong's return and frowned. "He took everything as a harbinger of war? Xianggong Lu resigned because I wanted to get rid of my old minister and start a war."
?Sealing the king is because I want to seal his mouth with a generous title? Reopening the Qingmiao Loan, issuing Jiaozi, selling national debt is disregarding the people's livelihood, desperately making money to prepare for a fight? The Mid-Autumn Festival that just passed, as well as the memorial articles and comments in the Di newspaper were also in
Are you inspiring people before the war?"
"Yes!" Yang Yizhong responded simply.
"Then I didn't go archery today, so am I still recharging my energy and preparing to shoot against Wanyan Wushu across the Yellow River?"
"..."
"How did the Imperial City Division directly obtain Gao Shouyi's memorial to Li Qianshun?" Zhao Jiu suppressed his desire to complain and asked another question. "It's so accurate?"
"Reporting back to the officials, this person just copied the memorials himself, and there was a ghostwriter who looked for literary talents for him. However, he was a Confucian scholar from Kansai who fled to Xixia during the Jingkang Rebellion. We bribed him easily." Yang Yizhong. Answer clearly.
"Why don't you write such a confidential report yourself?" Zhao Jiu couldn't follow up.
"So that the officials know that Li Qianshun likes to be arty. Except for some generals, most of his ministers have to be literary. Gao Shouyi comes from a well-known family among Xixia Confucian officials. His cousin Gao Shouzhong is the general leader of Xixia Guoxue. The minister of nurturing talents can be called the master of Sinology in Xixia. His father-in-law Xue Yuanli was even ranked as the prime minister, and he was the promoter of Li Qianshun's establishment of Sinology as Chinese culture... Therefore, although Gao Shouyi was born in a government office and was basically incompetent in literature, he did not dare to lack literary talent. of."
"I understand." Zhao Jiu nodded repeatedly, and then sighed. "In this case, it's no wonder that Gao Shouyi showed his flaws... Mr. Lan, please copy a note about this and give it to the ministers and the family of Mr. Lu. Hand each one a copy and tell them that even the Xixia people are so particular and the Song Dynasty cannot lag behind. Even if the children of the Prime Minister's family are incompetent, they cannot understand the original learning."
Lan Gui, the attendant next to him, was startled for a while. After a long time, he came around the corner and then hurriedly responded to the call. However, he held an umbrella and went to the public room on the side to find the on-duty machine to write a note.
"What else?" After Lan Gui left, Zhao Jiu continued to ask.
"Furthermore, Gao Shouyi repeatedly mentioned in his letter that the imperial army of the Song Dynasty was powerful, that the commanders such as the Prince of Yan'an and Yue Dutong were able to conquer and fight well, and that the fighting spirit of the officials remained undiminished. Then he mentioned that Wan Yanlou was defeated by Wanyan Lou in Yinshan before Xixia. On the grounds that 30,000 elites were destroyed in the imperial palace, Xixia was now unable to interfere in the affairs of the two major countries, and the hatred between the two major powers was hard to eliminate. He advised Li Qianshun, the leader of Xia, to properly handle border issues and not to attract the prying eyes of the armies of the two countries..."
Zhao Jiu's heart moved slightly, and then he asked seriously: "Why do I think Gao Shouyi is trying to scare Li Qianshun?"
Yang Yizhong was slightly startled.
But the more Zhao Jiu thought about it, the more he was at odds with him: "Think about it, Gao Shouyi is quite old. No matter how high-ranking he is in the government and he is a Confucian official, how can he not have military knowledge as a minister of Xixia? I want to really send out troops. The dispatch of horses, food and fodder cannot be hidden from anyone, how could he not know that I have no intention of starting a war immediately?"
"That's true." Yang Yizhong also nodded slightly in approval.
"So, if what I expected is correct, this guy is essentially doing the opposite, exaggerating the Song and Jin Dynasties to a certain extent, and preventing Li Qianshun from resuming his field army." Zhao Jiu sat in the pavilion, folded his hands and sneered. Not as good as that. "Didn't I say before that there are two major factions in Xixia, the Han faction is more literary and the Tibetan faction is more martial? With Gao Shouyi's status, how can he be the backbone of the Han faction? The world is as dark as crows. Since Li Qianshun has followed the Confucian ministers, that's fine. Sinology deserves to be criticized by this generation..."
Yang Yizhong remained silent.
"The Xixia envoy came back this time, of course, because Nianhan died and temporarily doubted the north." Zhao Jiu continued to analyze. "But in essence, it was the battle of Yaoshan that we proved that we could rival the Jin army... And It is impossible for Xixia to really turn against the Jin people because of the internal chaos in the Jin Kingdom. I am afraid that Li Qianshun will deal with the Khitan and the Song Dynasty again in the same way as he did in the past.
Yang Yizhong still didn't speak... because he knew in his heart that this kind of speech was essentially the Zhao Guan family talking to themselves.
"Okay, let me help this Xixia envoy." Zhao Jiu thought for a moment and responded seriously. "If we can really scare Li Qianshun, if nothing else, it would be good to reopen Hengshan Douling and replenish the Fan cavalry. of."
"I dare to ask the officials, how to scare them?" Yang Yizhong then spoke.
"I want to write a note to Li Qianshun." Zhao Jiu thought for a while, looking into the rain, and responded seriously. "Go and urge Senior Official Lan to let our Bachelor of Sanzhao come here to write."
Naturally, Yang Yizhong did not dare to neglect, and immediately went to the public house to look for Lan Gui and the Hanlin bachelor on duty. After a while, he hurriedly returned with Lan Gui and Fan Zongyin... The latter officially took over after Lu Haowen officially retired. Zhi, became a Hanlin bachelor commonly known as internal system, and officially evolved from Sanzhao Shiren to Sanzhao bachelor. Today is the first time he is on duty as a bachelor.
Since it was his first time to become a bachelor and it was his first day on duty, even though it was cold and rainy, Fan Zongyin was still very satisfied and wanted to write some serious scriptures. However, he did not expect that his first job would be to give The bosses are naturally a little discouraged when they write such inexplicable personal notes.
At this time, when he heard that the official was about to write a letter to the Xixia King, the newly appointed Yutang scholar was naturally a little surprised and happy, but he didn't even care that his 'jade face' was wet by the rain. He went directly to the pavilion, raised his hands, and responded sincerely: "Does the official want to use a private letter to show off his military power? But I don't know what format and how many words to use? How to address Lord Xia? I will write it in person immediately."
"No, it's not a letter, it's just a note. You don't need to address yourself, just write a few sentences." Zhao Jiu sat in the pavilion, clasping his hands and looking at it seriously. "The note only said two things. One, before the battle of Yaoshan that day, Prime Minister Yu Wen sent an envoy to see him, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb. I was very unhappy..."
Fan Zongyin was speechless and helpless, but he endured it and just nodded in response.
"Secondly, I heard that he admired Sinology and had written poems, so I went to read his "Geode of Ganoderma lucidum", but it was just a shoddy literary talent. You should know that I can't write "The Sapphire Case" He who dared to carve a monument actually carved his own "Lingzhi Song" on the stone. It was simply insulting to the gentlemen... Let him destroy the stone carving immediately after receiving the note, otherwise I will publicly ridicule him in the newspaper. Literary level has reached such a level that everyone in the world will know that Li Qianshun is a man who is as good as a monkey."
"..."
"Do you understand?" Zhao Jiu, who was holding his hands, raised his head and urged.
"Yes." Fan Zongyin had no choice but to nod again. "I will write it now."
"Just write it like this. After I finish it, I will mark it..." Zhao Jiu thought for a while and added a little more. "I gave him another copy of "Historical Records" and said that I was afraid that he could not find Mu Hou. And the origin of the crown.”
Fan Zongyin hesitated to speak, but in the end he just surrendered his hands to listen to the instructions.
PS: Oh my god, Linghu Ninth Middle School appeared, Mr. An was the seventh cutest, I went to move the train station to the third cutest... I just said that there was no update yesterday, how could it still be the second in the historical sales list?
